Wedding Song

Come to me ,
Press your forehead to mine,
Let us braid each other’s hair
Together into a single strong plait,
Gazing into each other’s eyes
Telling stories and making plans
Sharing the same air
Scented with sage and cedar
Sweetgrass and tobacco.
Our lives are intertwined like our hair
Stronger together than we are apart.
Where you go, I will go
And together, quietly
We will simply love.
